sound and fury…signifying
nothing.”

• "I think there is a world market for maybe five
computers,"
-Thomas Watson
Chairman of IBM, 1943.
• "Television won't be able to hold on to any market it
captures after the first six months. People will soon
get tired of staring at a plywood box every night,"
-Darryl Zanuck
20th Century Fox, 1946.
• "There is no reason anyone would want a computer
in their home,"
-Ken Olsen
Founder, Digital Equipment Corp., 1977.

Stoll:
“Visionaries see a future of telecommuting
workers, interactive libraries and multimedia
classrooms. They speak of electronic town
meetings and virtual communities.
Commerce and business will shift from
offices and malls to networks and
modems…”
Baloney.”

“How about electronic publishing? Try
reading a book on disc. At best, it's an
unpleasant chore: the myopic glow of a
clunky computer replaces the friendly pages
of a book. And you can't tote that laptop to
the beach. Yet Nicholas Negroponte,
director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that
we'll soon buy books and newspapers
straight over the Internet. Uh, sure.”

“Then there's cyberbusiness. We're promised
instant catalog shopping-just point and click
for great deals. We'll order airline tickets over
the network, make restaurant reservations
and negotiate sales contracts.”
“Even if there were a trustworthy way to send
money over the Internet-which there isn't-the
network is missing a most essential ingredient of
capitalism: salespeople.”
